"Lussekatter are like winter here in the northlands: you get started, and you think, hey, this isn't so bad. And maybe you hum a little bit, and you get into a rhythm, and you think, no problem! I can do this! I always have before! And then nothing changes, and so you keep going, but a little doubt creeps in. And then still nothing changes, and the doubt becomes certainty: this will never end. I will always be up to my elbows in sticky golden goodness, it will never become smooth and pliable, and incidentally the light will never return, we won't be able to light the candles, and the jotuns will come howling down upon us. (It's amazing how often it comes down to frost giants in my life. No, really. You'd be amazed.)" Just go read this amazing cultural anecdote.

Two spaces after a period is REALLY, ACTUALLY WRONG. Finally, I have proof for something that's always inexplicably bugged me! No longer must I continue to say, "because it just looks funny." YES. You have no idea, Delicious, how much this pleases me.

The literary art of script writing.

A bunch of name/place/plot generators.

The secret to raising cool children, I feel.

This is what I would call a worthy lol. A more proper tribute was never concocted.

Jesus. So good.

Love me some graphs.

I didn't know this was on the web. It's the book that doesn't use the letter 'e'!

Flow charts for the good of humanity.

LOVE ME SOME COLLECTIVE NOUNS. lololol

I like.

Exciting! True! Also, I kind of want to read that book.

THIS GUY IS MY FUCKING HERO. The title is misleading. This article goes in a direction so amazing it cannot even be quantified.

This could be a movie: Thank You For Buying Your Term Paper. Kind of funny in a macabre sort of way.

This makes me really zen about my life, which probably makes me a bad undergraduate/English major/person.

I wish. I think I should start collecting authors' exasperated answers to "where they get their ideas from." They're usually extremely funny or extremely inspired. This is a bit of both.

Britpicking swear words!

Meta with honest, and honestly funny, don'ts for writers that quickly dissolves into hilarious metaphors for sex in the comments. Love x1000.
